Overview

Prison Island, named after a prison built in 1893, was never used as a prison but served as a quarantine hospital. After a scenic 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town, visitors will discover the island’s current residents: giant tortoises that are over 200 years old.

These magnificent creatures were once banned from Stone Town and now call the island home. A visit to Prison Island offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and wildlife.
